Labor and Delivery Preparation

Pelvic health physical therapists make an excellent addition to your care team as you prepare for labor and delivery! I would love to work alongside your OB, midwife, doula, MFM, and your support partner to help you feel more prepared for your delivery.

In addition to having experienced both a natural and a medicated vaginal delivery, I have earned an obstetric certification from the APTA.

Each session, as we treat your primary symptoms, I spend time reviewing your current knowledge and give you education on how to prepare for your upcoming delivery.

We review topics such as:

  • Labor and delivery planning

  • Labor positions and breathing

  • Delivery positions and breathing

  • Perineal massage

  • Expectations for the delivery process

  • Techniques for pain management during contractions such as mindfulness and meditation

Handouts will be provided both online and via email for each of the topics we cover.
